Beach House on Marlin

Your family holiday at Ocean Grove is just a click away with Beach House on Marlin.

This beautifully decorated home is ready for a relaxing stay or you can use it as a base for those who feel more adventurous. The house is positioned within a short walk to the beach, or if you would prefer, a short drive to the patrolled surf beach of Ocean Grove or the clam waters of the Barwon River. Ocean Grove is serviced by two large shopping centres, including both of the major supermarkets, and both are within a pleasant walk or drive away.

Enjoy the Sunday markets in Ocean Grove or at one of the neighbouring towns.
With a short drive you can find yourself at the water adventure park ,a nice way to cool down and have fun with the kids, or try one of the mini golf parks. You can participate in surf lessons, try skydiving or any of the other attractions Ocean Grove and the Bellarine peninsula area has to offer.

Beach House on Marlin comprises, 2 large living areas. A large lounge room with comfortable couches, is ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach. This room has a TV and Blue-ray player with stereo sound bar. There are some family games and dvd's provided. We have just had installed a large split system air conditioner to this room, which will keep you cool on the hottest of summer days and warm on chilly winter nights. Direct access to a large central private courtyard is through glass sliding doors.

The second sitting area is in the kitchen / dining area, the hub of the home. Here you will find a comfortable couch and two comfortable chairs. There is also a day bed in the bay window to take in the newly landscaped gardens. Enjoy a glass of wine while dinner is being made in the fully equipped kitchen. The dining table can seat 8 people, but can be extended to comfortably seat up to 12!!!!!!!.

The large private courtyard has easy access from both of the living rooms. There is a lounge sitting area, a timber outdoor dining table capable of seating 10 or more people. A large stainless steel 4 burner 'Beefeater' BBQ with wok burner and canopy is there for you to cook up a feast. A Bali Hut provides a supplementary covered area for you to sit back and enjoy the out door space. You might not ever want to leave.

A newly renovated central bathroom with shower and bath is conveniently located in the center of the home. There is a separate toilet.

The house has recently undergone a renovation and we have added a new luxurious en-suite with a large shower and double vanity basins. A separate toilet completes the en-suite and there is the added bonus of a walk in robe. Also in the last twelve months we have completely painted the house to keep it looking fresh and new.

The house is fully equipped with everything you would need for a weekend get away or an extended holiday.

We have flexible bedding, so we can accommodate singles/couples etc. There is a bed/settee in the sitting room.

Relaxing.
The house was amazing. My sister & I took our 90-year-old mother away for 4 nights. She uses a walking frame & the house was very spacious so she was able to use it in all rooms. Beautifully appointed and with everything you could need. We had a wonderful stay.

Cool Old House - Get a new cleaner
Cool Old House - Host was helpful/responsive until I gave honest feedback after checkout about the cleanliness of the property (kitchen mostly), Netflix didn’t work and dog hair everywhere, then host didn’t respond at all to direct feedback via text. Just being honest. 4 stars 🌟 overall. Won’t go into detail publicly about specific feedback I gave, they know what feedback I gave. Thanks.

Lovely house in a great location
We had a great stay at Marlin over Easter. It’s perfectly located and has really lovely living areas and fantastic outdoor spaces. You can walk to the beach, which we did. Communication with Tony was friendly and efficient and everything at the property is as described.

A light filled spacious house with a warm feel and everything you need for a carefree holiday for family including teenagers and our dog. Secure yard and inner plant filled courtyard as well as the many living zones inside, good quality bedding, Netflix, wi-fi and excellent responsive hosts. It was lovely to find sparkling wine for us too! Thanks for a relaxing holiday.

Delightful Stay
We had a delightful stay at Beach House on Marlin. The cleanliness, charming furnishings, and thoughtful styling created a cozy atmosphere. The spacious layout and well-provided amenities exceeded expectations. Our dog loved exploring the beautiful gardens, and the ideal location, within walking distance to the beach and a charming cafe, added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. Communication with the hosts was seamless; their quick and easy responsiveness enhanced our overall experience. A lovely bottle of sparkles was a welcoming touch to a wonderful stay. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Great garden and entertaining area
The rooms are all spacious and well styled. The outdoor area is superb and it was great that we could take our puppy who loved the backyard area which was fully secured. Loved our stay at Ocean Grove and enjoyed visiting all the nearby coastal towns and wineries.

Perfect in every way
The best place weve stayed in Ocean Grove in all the years weve been going there. A beautiful property. Loved all the little secret spots in the house and garden. The floorplan is great with the central courtyard. Bedrooms at the back mean its really quiet and you can hear the sea. Great yard for dogs and undercover area to sleep. Communication was great from the pre stay check in call and fixing a little problem with nextflix while we were there. Appreciate the little gifts of wine and snacks too.
